| | A management perspective of the "J" programming language - Updated 2004 |
 | | J, like its precursor APL, is used in business for financial and mathematical modeling, analysis of large databases, engineering, actuarial work, forecasting, operational research studies, and other applications where a knowledgeable person is mostly employing it in their own work or as a teaching and communications tool. |
 | | Even the program structure and problem solving approach is difficult to infer from the mass of code needed for most programming languages. |
 | | The power of primitive operators in the language itself, the conciseness of presentation, the ease of code distribution in the form of small scripts, the speed of development and testing, the integration into the windows environment, and so on, are all capabilities one looks for in an applications development language. |
